Download Internet Explorer 7 (see Resource) and save the file to a directory on your computer. Close all other opened programs on your computer and save any currently open work.

Double-click "IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe" in the downloaded directory. The installation wizard opens. Click "Next" in the opening screen.

Click "I accept" in the license acceptance window. Click the "Validate" button on the next screen. This verifies the current installed copy of Windows is valid. Click "Next" after the validation.

Check the box labeled "Install the latest updates for Internet Explorer and the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool." This updates your software for any security issues and known program bugs. Click "Next."
